Vegetables Escabeche

Okay, this isn't a Rosh Hashana recipe. It is a great way to use the summer harvest. Using Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook, I flip to a page with a list of vegetables recommended and then opt for ones I prefer. This time I like sugar snap peas instead of green beans, a few purple cauliflower add pop. Mixed colored bell peppers, crisp carrots and celery sticks have new life in this frisky medley. Oh, do use the fennel bulb as it adds a great fragrance. I remove the 6 jalapeno peppers that give the blend heat just before serving. I also drain off the white wine vinegar marinade. This is one bowl of extravagance replacing the staid crudités platter. No dip required. Simply enjoy the end of summer jalapeno heat.
